[Essentiale]

are low profile tyres recommended for suvs?

[Kelpie]

IMHO, SUVs don't look nice with low profile tyres. The style doesn't fit.

yeah nice 18/19 inches of chrome bling bling!

Not too low, must go with at least 17" and above wheels

[Essentiale]

the bigger the rins, the lower the profile?

[Valjean]

Yah, bigger rims mean thinner tyres to ensure that diameter remains more or less constant after the change. Thin = low profile.

so in that case it wld be alright for my ride to have a low profile tyre on..say an 18 inch? tucson btw..

[Valjean]

It's alright in the sense that your Tucson can accomodate 18inch rims. The question is whether you want anot.

 

Like someone mentioned, big rims and low-profile tyres look out-of-place on a SUV because a real off-roading SUV needs fat, fat tyres to tackle the terrain. But then again, S'pore SUVs are only driven on-road, so there's no issue if you really wanna go with the big sportscar rims.

 

Other considerations are the effects of bigger rims on the drive (and costs as well)...
